Nova – “Sinking the Supership”. I guess PBS figures that as long as they have this mammoth documentary going on about a US carrier they might as well do a story on a Japanese one. So, they're whipping out an old episode of Nova focusing on the Yamato, the large battleship ever built which carried a crew of 3,000 and sunk by the US Navy in April of 1945.

9:00 – 11:00PM

Carrier – "Show of Force/Groundhog Day". Please note that the first time around, all episodes of Carrier repeat from 11:00pm – 1:00am. Well, here it is, PBS has previewed it over and over and over again, and now the time has finally arrived. Carrier is here. The series follows a group of people on board the USS Nimitz, from admirals on down to newbie sailors. It promises to be a fascinating look not just at this mammoth aircraft carrier, but the Navy in general.
